About Jazzy Taihuttu

Head of education (De Wereld van de Oost)/ Film teacher (Het 4e Gymnasium)
With the movie De Oost Jazzy opens the conversation about our colonial past”. She shows how to translate a creative and popular outlet like film into school material with a focus on multiperspectivity and dialogue. Whilst making the film De Oost (The East) and the education project De Wereld van de Oost (The World of the East) she found a way to discuss historical stories in class, with a focus on empathy for different narratives and creative maker ship. In this talk Jazzy would like to illustrate the journey of creating the right teaching materials for a fictive film and a very important colonial history that needs to be discussed. With this material you can shift the way students learn about important issues and the world around them, which doesn’t have to stop with this project.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxAmsterdam, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxAmsterdam event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
